Decreasing fish stocks Decreasing fish stocks. Increased human demand for fish and subsidies for fishing fleets have resulted in too many boats chasing too few fish. Two-thirds of the world's fish stocks are either fished at their limit or over fished. The UN food and agriculture organisation (FAO) has estimated that 70 percent of the fish population is fully used, overused or in crisis. Plummeting numbers of fish have led some fisheries organisations, and some countries, to see whales as competitors for dwindling fish stocks.
